Chapter 714
She's My Sleeping Pill
Luiz looked at his sister who also looked at him with whatâs-going-on look. He wanted to tell her what he knew but when he looked at Stefan, he was worried. He believed in Stefan. He believed that he wonât hurt his sister again because of how much he loves her. However, he was torn between telling Cayenne and keeping it. He was worried that he will be the reason of their break up again. He didnât want them to separate again.
âI...the glass...the glass slipped from my hand.â Luiz stated which earned him a sigh of relief from everyone.
âBe careful.â one of the staff stated. âIâll get a broom and dustpan. Donât let anyone come near you and donât go anywhere. Weâll check your shoes just in case some of the shards got stuck on your soles.â he added and left to get what he needed.
The woman in front of Luiz had turned pale when she looked at Stefan. His cold gaze sent chills down her spine and she couldnât stop shivering. She was afraid of him.
âI didnât know what really happened and I just really want to know that everythingâs fine. Iâm sorry for showing this to you.â The woman mumbled in apology.
âItâs fine.â Luiz said as he waved his hand in dismissal. âThank you for showing concern but thereâs no need to worry about them. Nothing can take them apart. My brother-in-law would never do such thing.â
The woman bowed her head and muttered another bout of apology before leaving Luiz alone. The moment she got away, Clarisse approached her boyfriend and held his hand. âIâm sorry.â
.....
âYou knew about this news?â
âHn.â
âAnd you didnât tell me?â
âBecause I know youâd be affected and might do something that youâd regret later on. This is a problem that sis Yen and her husband need to deal with. Let us give them the time to sort things out. I am pretty sure that he will solve this matter soon.â
Luiz looked back at his sister who was now eating her food while chatting with the director. She looked genuinely happy and no cloud of sadness can be seen on her face. Contrary to how she looked, Stefan barely smiled in front of other people. He was obviously worried about something and they knew what that something was.
After lunch, they left Theresaâs Angel to visit the Arc Center for Cancer patients. Supposedly, it was Cayenne who planned to give them something. She didnât expect she would receive something in return. It wasnât just her, everyone who came with her received something. It was potted plant and the one she got was a lemon seedling. Her happiness was brimming and all she could think of was finding a place to plant it somewhere.
One hour ago ...
âBoss, we found the woman already. She said that she didnât spread any news about you and she would never do such thing.â Tristan said over the phone. âShe also said that this must be done by one of your enemies because she got a letter last night telling her to leave the country and never come back.â
âIs that all?â
âSorry boss. I still couldnât find the person responsible for this. The woman said that she received a bag of cash in front of her door but there was no other note aside from the letter. I already got a copy of the letter but there was nothing special to it. Since she got cash, we couldnât find any bank traces to check on. Also, there was no CCTV near her previous place. Itâs really hard finding the perpetrator.â
âNo matter what happens, find him. I need to deal with this bastard.â
âDid you tell Ms. Yen about this already? You need to inform her about this matter as soon as you can. It will be a big problem if she hears this issue from someone else.â
Stefan was silent for a moment and his gaze was focused on his wife who was talking to one of the staff. They must be chatting about something funny because she laughed beautifully. He loves watching her laugh and smile.
âIâll talk to her about this matter tonight. I canât tell her about this right now because of the events. I donât want her to be affected by it.â
âDonât worry boss, I have already deleted the posts that madam got tagged. I already informed Ms. Jillyanna about this matter to prevent her from contacting lady boss. Riley and Shein promised to keep this matter a secret as well. I have talked to David and he also managed to keep this matter from Luiz.â
A sigh escaped from Stefanâs lips after a long time. He was deeply worried about this matter. âIâll leave it up to you. I am sure that this isnât done by those people overseas because they didnât have much power over me and they didnât know her either. You can narrow down the people who tried to damage my businesses these past few months. One of them must have gotten hold of this information. Find out who tried to get in touch with that woman.â
âYes, sir.â Tristan ended the call and went back to work once again.
As for Stefan he could only pray that his wife wonât kill him. She loves children. She talked to him about babies for so many times that he lost count of it and he wants to have children with her, too. He wants her to be the mother of her children.
He just didnât expect this issue to resurface at this moment when heâs planning to marry her. He wanted to tie the knot with her once again but people were trying to stop him from doing so.
How will Cayenne react if she knows that he had a child with someone? Worse, what will she do to him if she knows that he killed the innocent child indirectly?
Stefan closed his eyes and prayed. He could only pray that she would still forgive him after finding the truth later on.
At present, Cayenne was observing her husband with side glances. She could tell that the problem wasnât solved yet because of the worry clouding his eyes. And no matter what it was, he wouldnât tell her because he knew that she will be affected by it. Cayenne knew that he was more worried for her.
âHon?â
Stefan looked at her and found a faint smile on her lips. âNo matter what happens, I will be by your side. If you are ready to tell me, you can just do it. I will listen and I wonât react until I have gathered enough facts.â
âThen, what will you do if someone close to you killed a child?â
